Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on unheated PET substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering of In-Sn (90-10 wt%) metallic alloy target. Electrical and optical properties of as-deposited films were systematically studied by control of the deposition parameters such as working pressure, DC power, and oxygen partial pressure. The figures of merit are important factors that summarize briefly the relationship between electrical and optical properties of transparent conducting films. The formulae of T/R$\_$sh/ and T$\^$10// R$\_$sh/ are expressed as a function of transmittance and sheet resistance. The best values of those figures of merit were approximately 38.6 and 8.95 ($\times$10$\^$-3/Ω$\^$-1/), respectively.

The indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited on CR39 substrate using DC magnetron sputtering. The ITO thin films deposited at room temperature because CR39 substrate its glass-transition temperature is $130^{\circ}C$. The ITO thin films used bottom and top electrode and for organic thin film transparent transistors (OTFTs). The ITO thin film electrodes electrical properties and optical transparency properties in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) strongly dependent on volume of oxygen percent. For the optimum resistivity and transparency of the ITO thin film electrode achieved with a 75 W plasma power, 10 % volume of oxygen and a 27 nm/min deposition rate. Above 85 % transparency in the visible wavelength range (300-800 nm) measured without post annealing process and a low resistivity value $9.83{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was measured thickness of 300 nm. All fabrication process of ITO thin films did not exceed $80^{\circ}C$.

Indium Tin Oxide(ITO) thin films have been fabricated by the dc magnetron sputtering technique with a target of a mixture $In_{2}O_{3}$(90mol%) and $SnO_{2}$(10mol%). We prepared ITO thin films with substrate temperature 200 to $400^{\circ}C$ and annealing temperature 200 to $500^{\circ}C$. Good polycrystalline-structured ITO films with a low electrical resistivity of $3.4{\times}10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm$ have been obtained. The visible light transmittance of all obtained films was over 80 %.

In this paper, the ITO thin film, which is considered as one of the most currently used material for the high performance transparent conducting films for the PDP cell, was made in a parallel-plate, capacitively coupled DC magnetron sputtering system. Some electrical and optical properties of ITO films were investigated and discussed on the basis of glow discharge characteristics. The optimized thin film fabricating conditions of Ar gas pressure and substrate temperature were derived from the Paschen curve and glow discharge characteristics. The maximum transmittance of 89.61 % in the visible region and optical band gap of 3.89 eV and resistivity of 1.67${\times}$10$\^$-3/ $\Omega$-cm were obtained under the conditions of 300 C of substrate temperature and 10∼15 mtorr of pressure, which corresponds nearly to that of Paschen minimum.

Phosphorus doped ZnO (PZO) thin films were deposited on $SiO_2$/n-Si substrates using DC magnetron sputtering system varying oxygen partial pressures from 0 to 40 % under Ar atmosphere. The deposited films showed reduced n-type conductivity due to the compensating donor effects by phosphorus dopant. The bias-time stability shows relatively good stability over bias and time comparing to un-doped ZnO-based TFTs.

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown on type of glass#1737 substrates by DC magnetron sputtering. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were investigated as a function of various plasma discharge power. The obtained films were polycrystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and preferentially oriented in the (002) crystallographic direction. The lowest resistivity was $6.0{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ with the carrier concentration of $2.69{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ and Hall mobility of 20.43 $cm^2/Vs$. The average transmittance in the visible range was above 90%.

기존의 박막태양전지 전면층으로 활용하는 Asahi glass는 증착공정 중에 발생하는 수소 플라즈마로 인해 FTO 기판의 투명전도막이 손상되어 태양전지의 효율 저하가 문제가 되었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 FTO 기판의 전면층을 대신하여 ZnO:Al 박막증착을 하기 위해서 회전원통형의 타겟이 장착된 DC magnetron sputtering을 가지고 성장을 시켰는데 증착하는데 있어 중요한 공정변수인 압력 및 온도 조건의 가변을 통해 이를 최적화하여 전면층에 활용하고 자 한다. 그래서 3mtorr의 압력과 $230^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건에서 두께가 약 $1{\mu}m$일 경우, $6.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$의 비저항과 함께 약 85% 이상의 투과도를 나타냈다. 이것은 ZnO:Al 박막이 압력과 온도의 영향에 따라 투명전도막에 많은 영향을 끼치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The degradation of mechanical properties of nitride coatings to steel substrates is one of the main challenges for industrial applications. In this study, plasma nitriding treatment was used in order to increase the mechanical properties of Mo-Cu-N coating to the H13 tool steel. The nanostructured Mo-Cu-N coating was deposited using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering method with a single alloy Mo-Cu target. Mechanical properties of MoN-Cu coated samples after nitriding were found to be relatively better than non-nitrided MoN-Cu coating.
